The Princeton Plasma Physics Lab allows students to experiment on plasma remotely, in real time, right from their computers, with the Remote Glow Discharge Experiment. Most students returning to ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

New research shows that traditional physics labs, which strive to reinforce the concepts students learn in lecture courses, can actually have a negative impact on students. At the same time, ...

From vector diagrams to real collision experiments, momentum labs bring physics concepts into focus. Students connect theory with practice by designing and analyzing their own setups. These activities ...

This September, IMAP — a one-ton NASA spacecraft carrying 10 unique instruments — will launch into space to collect and interpret particles from the Sun and from exploded stars billions of miles ...

Physics at CWRU isn’t just about lectures and labs—it’s about using every tool, resource, and mindset shift to deepen understanding. From peer tutoring to AI-assisted problem solving, students have ...

Sacramento State Physics students will conduct research with scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in a new collaboration funded by the federal Department of Energy. Four Sac State ...

The spring semester was mostly through virtual instruction, but what do the in-person classes held on campus look like? The photo series “A look at in-person classes during COVID” shows what ...

Picture a jeweler at work. Magnifier in hand, he examines a stone, studying the way light dances off it. He’s trying to determine whether it’s a diamond or merely cut glass, of engagement-ring quality ...
